Medieval Madrid at Dusk | Arab Wall, Muslim Origins, and Temple of Debod

🏆 Nº1 TripAdvisor Madrid · Best of the Best 8 consecutive years (only 1% of experiences worldwide receive this)

Madrid has 800 years of Muslim, medieval, and modern history, and most tours only scratch the surface. This tour starts at Plaza Mayor and ends where no other does: with the sun setting over the Temple of Debod, the only authentic Egyptian temple in Spain.

In 2 and a half hours, you will explore the city that was an Arab fortress, medieval capital, and cradle of the Spanish Empire. Walls that still stand. Squares where history was decided. And a cinematic ending.
